More facts about Muscle Strength & Restore Formula
HMB is a bioactive metabolite of the branched-chain amino acid
leucine. HMB has been shown to help maintain muscle function
and support muscle growth, especially for those over 65. Vitamin
D3 has well-documented benefits for muscle health and healthy
bone density. Now, both ingredients are available in a single,
convenient supplement.
HMB for muscle protein balance and exercise performance
Healthy muscles depend on the natural balance between two
complementary processes: anabolism, where muscle is
created, and catabolism, where muscle is deconstructed. But
as we age, our body's ability to build new muscle slows down
even when it has the necessary proteins and amino acid
“building blocks” to do so.
The result is a decline in muscle mass and strength. HMB has
beneficial effects on muscle mass by helping to preserve the
structural integrity of your muscles and supporting muscle
growth. HMB also supports exercise performance during both
resistance and endurance training.
HMB in clinical studies
HMB and Bed Rest: Prolonged bed rest can result in loss of
muscle mass. In a randomized placebo-controlled study,
men and women were confined to bed rest for 10 days,
followed by eight weeks of resistance training rehabilitation.
Each group took either 3 g a day of HMB or a placebo for 5
days prior to bed rest, up until the end of the study. The
placebo group lost lean mass during bed rest, but those given
HMB during bed rest showed no such decline.
HMB and Resistance Training: In a randomized, placebo-
controlled trial, men and women received 3 g a day of HMB,
or a placebo and trained for 4 weeks. At the end of the study,
the HMB group had a greater increase in upper body strength
than the placebo group. In another clinical study,
supplementation with 3 g a day of HMB for 9 weeks provided a
substantial benefit to lower-body strength when combined with
resistance training.
HMB and Older Adults: In a 24-week, randomized, placebo-
controlled study, adults 65 years and older were divided into
an exercise group and a non-exercise group. Both groups
took either 3 g of HMB twice a day or a placebo. The non-
exercise group that took HMB showed signs of improved
muscle health — but the exercise group's results were even
better, improving measurements of muscle function and
lean mass.
Vitamin D3 for hormone health and muscle function
Vitamin D3 promotes healthy muscle function and
metabolism.Vitamin D also supports healthy
mitochondrial function and energy consumption,
which are likely to influence muscle strength. Vitamin
D helps inhibit inflammatory factors to support muscle
health as well.
